See the Moon Move In Startling Ultra-High Definition

A good pair of binoculars can give you a great view of the moon and its craters, but for those cloudy nights, there's a way to watch the moon move that's nearly as crisp and clear. NASA Goddard Space Center prepared this video from Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter data to give a resolution of 4K, known as "ultra-high def." It may, in fact, have better resolution than your TV can handle.

Our lone satellite has rarely looked so gorgeous as it does here, moving through its phases over the time lapse of a month. The above video shows the northern hemisphere of our fair moon, while the one below shows the southern hemisphere. Both of them are absolutely breathtaking and you should watch them on the best screen you have at your disposal.
